ALICE COOPER 'Threatens' Namesake Bird With Legal Action - Aug. 25, 2009
Last week, the New York Post ran a story about a rare kestrel named Alice Cooper (for reasons that should be apparent — see photos below) who was rescued by a good Samaritan in Brooklyn. The non-avian Alice, who is currently on tour in Australia, offered his take on the possibility of his feathery namesake getting into his act. "First 'The Crow' stole my makeup, and now this kestrel has done it," the legendary rockers said. "This madness has got to stop, or I'm going to send my army of lawyers with everything they've got to go up against this bird. The bird has been trying to get a part in the show and will try anything to generate attention and get into our production.... the only one who wants him in the show is the snake."

Good to see the old bastard has still got a sense of humor...and I can't help but think that this was some kind of tongue in cheek reference to "other" shock rockers from the same era as himself *cough-GENESIMMONS-cough*

COMMENT | Yeah, ALICE.......

Great showman, great guy, great golfer, underrated lyricist. Still kickin' ass on the road forty years later. No one compares in my book.

This is the great thing about Alice. The guy knows he's a legend, he knows he invented loads of things other bands copied, but rather than be all "they copied me, how lame they are" he totally satirises the whole issue by threatening to sue a tweety bird lol.

Alice Cooper is a Character. Vincent Furnier is a person!

COMMENT | well maybe not so wrong...

S810: Riotact may not be so wrong here... Legally his name is no longer Cincent Furnier, it is legally Alice Cooper.... so that would make Alice Cooper a person.. though a different person in life as on stage.

Hilarious story directly from Alice himself. Good to see he kept his humor, unlike some sad people ;-)

I always LOVED Alice's humor on his radio show and this shows what a GREAT guy he really is.

I guess you could say the bird flew the COOP??????
